After walking outside to eat, Xia Zhihuai took Wanwan home.

When closing the gate, Xia Zhihuai turned his head to look at the persimmon tree in the courtyard.

I don't know if it's his delusion, but in just one afternoon, he felt that the young leaves on the persimmons were much denser than in the morning.

He stood under the tree, looked up at a branch, and asked suspiciously, "Wanwan, is it my delusion?" How do I feel that the persimmon tree at home pulls leaves so quickly? ”

Wanwan ran to the edge of the jujube tree, and was putting her hand on the trunk, when she heard Xia Zhihuai's voice, she turned back blankly: "What? ”

"As for the tree at home, it feels like all the leaves have been pulled out in one afternoon."

Xia Zhihuai scratched the back of his head and turned his head to look at the dwarf dundun Wanwan.

He always felt that it was because of Wanwan.

I thought she could only give birth to the peach blossom tree, but I didn't expect other trees to do the same?

But he was with Wanwan all day, and he didn't find out what she had done.

Wanwan held the jujube tree with both hands, blinked with big eyes, and said innocently: "I didn't do anything, these trees just like Wanwan, so they will work hard to grow leaves." ”

Xia Zhihuai glanced at the persimmon tree and complained: "If I like you, it violates the laws of natural growth, which is too bottomless, right?" ”

He had lived in the old mansion for so many years when he was a child, why didn't he see these trees send a leaf for him in advance?

Wanwan pressed her face against the rough trunk of the tree, looking at him and not knowing what to say: "......"

I always feel that my brother is more naïve than her now.

Xia Zhihuai gave up studying the persimmon tree, stood beside her, and patted the back of her hand with a "snap".

Wanwan was startled, her eyes widened, and she didn't understand why he suddenly made a move.

It didn't hurt, but it scared her.

Xia Zhihuai slowly let go of his hand, looked at the mosquito on his middle finger, frowned and said, "I forgot to buy mosquito coil liquid when I came back, I made a mistake~"

Wanwan looked at the dead mosquitoes on his fingertips, and then looked at the back of his white and chubby hand, which had a little crimson mosquito blood on it.

Xia Zhihuai took a tissue from her pocket and wiped the mosquito blood off the back of her hand: "Let's go back to the house, there are many mosquitoes in the yard." ”

As soon as he took Wanwan's other hand off the trunk of the jujube tree, the jujube tree, which had already died, hung low on the thin branch in front of his head, and quietly grew three thin young leaves.

As soon as Xia Zhihuai looked up, he saw the thin branches swaying in the breeze, and the three tender green young leaves, like the belated spring news of the jujube tree.

The dying old tree was rejuvenated, and Xia Zhihuai and Wanwan stood side by side, looking up at the tall trees.

Slowly, all the branches began to bud and the leaves grew rapidly.

Huang Xikong felt something, turned off the TV, pushed open the window and sat on the window, looking at the jujube trees growing against the sky downstairs.

Fortunately, the night was hazy, and there were two lanterns lit up in the courtyard, which emitted a warm and soft light on a slightly drunken night.

Zhu Qing floated out of the house, stopped beside Huang Xikong, and looked curiously at the jujube tree that had been covered with young leaves in just ten minutes.

I couldn't help but whisper: "My lord, who are those two people downstairs?" ”

Huang Xikong shook his head, looked at the small body, and his eyes flashed lightly.

"Who knows?"

"It's not an ordinary person after all."

Maybe it's really as Wanwan herself said, what kind of plants and trees become immortals, and it is not necessarily said.

It was also his luck to meet these two people.

Otherwise, he would have turned into a murderous ghost by now, so why not wait for the opportunity to find Emperor Xu to take revenge.

……

After waiting for about half an hour, the jujube tree finally stopped growing.

Xia Zhihuai looked at the dense turquoise leaves, looked down at the sparkling eyes, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

When the people passing by the courtyard of his house saw the lush jujube trees inside the wall, they estimated that there would be some strange remarks coming out of the village.

A few persimmon trees nearby, compared with the jujube trees at this moment, really look extremely desolate and pitiful.

Xia Zhihuai picked her up: "Okay, let's go in and take a bath, and tomorrow we will find a way to help you round this spectacle." ”

"Taowanwan, it's really hard to be your brother."

Wanwan hugged his neck and said with a smile: "Brother has worked hard." ”

Xia Zhihuai sent Wanwan to the door of the bathroom and handed it to Xia Yingxiu.

turned around and ran to find Huang Xikong, the thesis has the ability to pretend to be non, no one in this family should be able to compare with him.

Xia Zhihuai ran to the living room and saw Huang Xikong sitting on the window, quietly looking at the jujube trees outside.

"Haven't seen enough?"

"Well, what's the matter with me?"

Huang Xikong glanced back at him and knew that he must have something to ask for advice.

"You have also seen it, Wanwan's ability is amazing, this dead jujube tree sprouts and grows overnight, tomorrow it is estimated that the people in the village will see it, and there will be messy rumors...... I'm still planning to bring Wanwan back to live, I definitely want to live a cleaner life, do you have any way? ”

Huang Xikong glanced at the Peach Blossom Village, which was not too big, and shook his head calmly: "There is no way." ”

Xia Zhihuai rubbed the inner canthus of his eyes, feeling that this matter was really tricky.

"I've never been able to figure out why you're trying to hide your specialness?" Huang Xikong looked back at Xia Zhihuai calmly, and said unhurriedly, "You should know very well that you take her back to Peach Blossom Village to live, and let a dead tree bloom overnight, this is just the beginning of your life, and her ability is far more than that." ”

Xia Zhihuai stood in place and was also thinking: "The greater her ability, the more she will bear." ”

"The stronger she shows, the more things like Red City will be."

Xia Zhihuai was a little frustrated, but said clearly and rationally: "Many things in this world are in a very delicate relative balance, and Wanwan will not really be invincible in his life." I could have let her take risks, but I couldn't afford to lose her when she was in danger, when she was about to lose her life. ”

"Human nature itself is very complicated, if I need to save people to bear, I can fight alone without complaints, but if it is my family to charge, I will hesitate, I will emerge from my selfish nature, this will never change."

……

Huang Xikong understood his feelings.

He has not experienced this, when Emperor Xu forced him to submit, with his family as a threat, his wife, who had never been angry, was furious on the spot, drew his sword, and was about to enter the palace to kill the king.

For the sake of hundreds of lives in the house, for his own family, and for the family of his wife, he had no choice.

For the sake of those who care, sacrifice can be done without hesitation.

Huang Xikong said lightly: "You can't hide Wanwan, and you can't protect her now, so ...... You'll have to find her a strong backer. ”

Xia Zhihuai suddenly raised his head, and understood what he meant in an instant.

Huang Xikong pressed his hands on the window and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Your little radish essence is very strong, and it will only be more powerful in the future."

"Your generation is really lucky and happy to be born in such an era when the Haiyan River is clear."

Xia Zhihuai's eyebrows moved: "You mean, the Demon Management Bureau?" ”

Huang Xikong smiled silently.
